the stats on the WDFW website stated that 7900 multi season deer permits were issued during the 2012 season and 8500 were available, so there was a 100% draw odds. I will buy one again as well, very cheap entertainment for me to be able to hunt so long of a time period.

The regs say 8500 available. The regs pg 80 for the 2012 regs cover the 2013 multiseason since new regs come out after the multiseason app sales have occured. The 2013 multiseason apps went on sale Dec 1, 2012 and continue through March 31, 2013. You are a month and a half behind if you want to buy an app. The online submission wasn't until Jan 1, 2013 if you are looking for points or permit draw.

I would assume that number would be good. I didn't see anything come out before the apps went on sale saying the numbers would be reduced. It would be awfully weasel-like to change the number after the apps went on sale.

Of the 7900 issued, I'd be curious to see how many people actually purchased them. Does anyone know how many they actually sold?

Considering how much I spend on scouting/hunting every year, $180 isn't all that bad. It gives me more time in the field which is the whole idea. It also gives me more time to wait for a mature deer, not just any young one. Although I am a sucker for backstrap so a deer every season would be great.

I actually talked to 2 different people that 'said' they put in and weren't drawn for deer. From the numbers thrown out there so far I'm thinking they either screwed up their application or didn't realize they were drawn for one reason or another. I've been drawn 5 times now and I really do enjoy getting out as much as I do. I've also eaten tag soup 3 times because I get so damn selective; but that's my choice and I'm not complaining. One of these days that 'buck of a lifetime' will show up at the right time and I'm just hoping I have the tag to harvest him.
